Chapter 281 An Unexpected Outcome

• The bidding was hosted by the Municipal Bureau, so there were a number of authoritarian figures present during the occasion. Not that many attendees were actually aiming for that piece of land, instead most of them were there to either join in on the fun, or to snoop on other ongoing projects around the area and perhaps take on any available opportunities, which was why there weren’t a lot of people there for the actual bidding despite the amount of people present.
• Shao Yunchen had been greeting people left and right upon stepping into the venue, indicating that the assumption that he wasn’t familiar with Beijing was false. They sat down on the third row while Lin Shui handed in the proposal and auction plan.
• There were around ten people on the row of seats above stage, and judging from what was written on the seats, they seemed to be prominent figures in politics as well as the chairman of the chamber of commerce. The man sitting at the slight left from the middle would be Song Yuming, which would be Song Ran’s uncle. Shang Rui arrived a few minutes later to be seated in the second row. Song Ran was there even earlier, but she hadn’t greeted him, and even acted as if she hadn’t seen him.
